Check the wheel yourself

The Whirly Dirly doesn't ask you to trust it. Every spin is sealed before the stream starts and can be re-run by anyone afterwards — including you, right here, in your own browser. Nothing on this page talks to us to get its answer.

How it works

  1. Before the stream, the wheel draws a secret number and publishes its fingerprint (a SHA-256 hash). It is now locked in — a different secret would produce a different fingerprint.
  2. When the wheel is spun, it writes down an XRP Ledger number that hasn't closed yet and starts turning. That ledger settles a few seconds later, while the wheel is still spinning — and its hash is decided by the whole XRP Ledger network, not by this site. The wheel is committed to it before it exists.
  3. The result comes from those two things combined, mapped onto the wheel in proportion to each slice's size. Not the animation — the animation just drives to the answer.
  4. After the stream, the secret is published. Anyone can check that it matches the fingerprint from step 1, and re-run every spin of the night.

The secret is locked in before the stream and the deciding number comes from a ledger this site does not control, so nobody can choose the result — not the stream, not the site, not whoever runs the server. Someone watching the ledger closely might see a spin resolve a moment before the screen does; they still could not change it, and the wheel was already committed. That is the part that matters.
